It’s not often you get a referral from an appraiser, so when the call came in, stepped up to the plate big!!

This appraiser was so impressed with the Sotheby’s International Realty standard in their local market, they knew not to trust anyone else with their family members on their big relocation to the area.

We love to help your family! So much so, it’s one of our commitments to you as a Parker Residential team, “to care for your family like we care for our own”

Did you know a blue door is associated with calmness, peace and welcoming energy?

Sometimes when you know, you know! And this one made it an easy decision with no covenants to prevent camper parking and direct access to Shelley Lake trails.

Wishing you ALL the peace, welcoming energy and calm in your new home, Derrick!

Monthly payment is the new zestimate!

Have you noticed in your “sofa surfing” that Zillow is now hitting buyers with their estimated monthly payment before you even have a chance to glance at the Zestimate? It can be alarming!

Yes, rates are low “over the course of history” but we’re still in the days of comparing to the sub 3 rates some buyers right now are used to. This hike is becoming a huge roadblock, mainly mentally, for a lot of buyers and no doubt a challenge when it comes to marketing your home.

So, as you consider your list price it’s time to consider what a buyer will be paying per month to live in your home. No, you can’t change their rate or down payment for the better - but you CAN prep the home for the market in a way that makes it more attractive at that price.

Walking into a home and having a buyer think “wow, all I have to do is move in!” Is certainly more appealing at the payment they are seeing, whether it’s accurate or not, than having a buyer see that payment and walk in saying “well, I’ll need to budget for this and that”

Listing homes is a strategy and one we don’t take lightly. We would rather be honest and lose the business than see you sit on the market wishing you’d done the work up front. There’s only one chance to make a first impression!

This is one of those closings that was SO GOOD it made me skeptical....kind of like I was waiting for the ball to drop the entire time. Because real estate is fun! But certainly not easy…

What do I mean by that? Well, the showing was incredible - the perfect day, not much to point out as far as what I thought may come up in an inspection, a great floorplan and perfect yard.

Enter offer time...the buyers went in strong, but not too strong as there were no others on the table yet. We added an expiration and boom, under contract before others were able to submit.

Inspection day comes....piddly repairs needed. Seriously - not one major thing. What’s more? The sellers took care of those piddly repairs prior to closing.

Appraisal? No issues. Final Walkthrough? Perfection.

Yes, it may have taken over 8 months to find the right home...and when it turns out like this one, it’s well worth it! Congratulations to NC’s newest homeowners!!

Blue or White? Why not both in the listing?

The sellers of our listing at 7717 Dover Hills Drive wanted expert feedback on their online presence. One consistent theme? The blue could be polarizing. So we got to work and added a virtual photo of what the home *could* look like with a simple exterior paint. Which do you prefer?

I recently asked Catherine to reflect on our closings this year and share which were her favorites. This one came in at the top of the list!

“Why?” I asked. I saw her think about it and she explained that this was “the perfect home for the clients.” After missing out on a couple, it truly came down to the best one for them. That’s what residential real estate is about. Matchmaking, staying positive, persistence, encourcagement, patience and at the deep root of it all...wanting what’s best for your clients.

We’re so lucky to do what we do every day and it would be an honor to help you find your perfect home, too! Reach out anytime - 919.810.7052

Buying and selling at the same time? Stressful, no doubt. The best way to combat that stress? Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.

Plan A? A is for Archetype. An ideal scenario. Find what you’re looking for, list your home and everything lines up perfectly.

Plan B? B is for backup. 401K loans, bridge loans, HELOCS. There’s options but a great lender is a MUST to determine what’s best for you.

Plan C? C is for Capitalize. List, capture that equity and find an “in between” resting place.

Which option is best for you? We can chat through the pros and cons of all. Take it from Tim & Kristi - we were able to help them navigate a buy and sell simultaneously with a closing and couple days seller possession. Had that not worked out, we had Plan B & C ready to rock and roll.

After ➡️ Before

Sometimes, a price reduction isn’t the answer to appeal to buyers - but rather a facelift is! Just since the floors have been updated on Nicholwood last week, we’ve welcomed back two agents who have shown both “before” and “after” who cannot say what a difference the update made for their showings.

Lucky for you, this first floor condo in desirable Parkridge Community, walking distance to Five Points, Glenwood Avenue, Village District and Fred Fletcher park is still available!
